Just a few short weeks ago I began a journey with my father now 67 years old. My father is a diabetic and has a history of foot related problems not all related to his disease but all equally dangerous.
3/15 - My father lost his entire toenail on his big toe on his right foot. The toe was red, extremely swollen and had some discharge.
3/16 - We went to see the physician only to be told that amputation of the toe could be a real possibility. My father was prescribed and initial round of oral antibiotics and advised to soak the foot. The physician gave us an explanation of the toe problem - a fungus that had damaged the toenails.
3/17 - I arrived at work only to find working impossible, so I began surfing the Internet and found a wound care link site that listed articles and new product information. I found a list of items that seemed interesting enough until I found the product page for Toe-Aid dressing. The second line of advertisement said it all "Helps eliminate fungus from under the toenail and other areas of the feet." I picked up the phone and called Southwest Technologies and found very friendly people on the other end of the phone. I learned a wealth of information in a few minutes and then realized my father and I were not alone with this type of fungus. During my phone conversation, I was convinced I needed this product for my father and fast. Southwest Technologies faxed info that day to me at the office to show me how to use their product and also gave the name of Stout Supply as the closest distributor for me.
3/18 - Saturday morning with the arrival of UPS I received my overnight package from Stout Supply and began using the Toe-Aid product.
3/23 - One week after the first physician visit and five days working with this product a noticeable improvement. Swelling reduced, slight improvement on color and infection starting to turn for the better.
3/30 - Two weeks after first physician visit and twelve days working with product shows enough improvement to get the attention of our physician. Infection reduced, color improvement is dramatic and swelling is gone. The physician does not need to see us next week, we can skip a week. We don't even mention the word amputation of the toe during this visit.
3/31 - Placed additional product order from Stout to continue the progress.
4/30 - Last physician visit and twenty-six days working with the product. The toe looks practically normal again (except for the missing toenail). The physician says he does not need to see us anymore on this issue. I am convinced that I found this product with a little prayer and luck. I am also convinced that this product, informative people, and prompt distribution allowed my father to heal his toe and possibly change the future course of action we might have been forced to follow.
